Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Oyster Bay

This is my second time at this hotel. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The facility has a nice swimming pool and restaurant. The food options are varied and meet varied tastes and likes. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend staying here.

The gardens, the pool, and the apartments are well maintained. |Staff is friendly, helpful, and very professional. |The restaurant also has a variety of menus, and we mostly had our lunches and dinners there. |We have been to this hotel several times. |The experience after each stay keeps us coming back.|An important thing to note too is that, it is easily reachable from the airport,|not far from the town centre, and close to the local art and craft shops.

The location is great and the staff are exceptional, so very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant is excellent and the pool area is nice to hang out, have a drink and a dip in the pool! I would recommend this hotel. This is my second time here.

We were at the Portea Hotel Oyster Bay and enjoyed the stay as a group of us were travelling to Dar for business. The hotel has all the required amenities, friendly staff, great food at the restaurant. I look forward to staying here in the future.

The hotel is dated. The beds are uncomfortable. The rooms are tired and the entire property should be re-examined as a Marriot property. All of the service provided at the hotel was acceptable except for the duty manager and Indian man who is rude, manipulative and extremely incompetent perhaps the worst I’ve ever encountered. I have ambassador elite status with Marriot meaning I spend over 100 nights a year in properties around the world. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had as a Marriot guest stay away from this hotel.

I think this is a perfect place for people coming to visit Dar es salaam for a short stay. The place is not far from restaurants, a few blocks from a good hospital and it’s quiet for those looking for a quiet place to stay. I have had friends and co workers coming from Zanzibar and other places stay and they all love the place. I would recommend next time you are in Dar to give this place a try.

Our recent stay at the Protea Hotel Oyster Bay and the Courtyard Dar es Salaam was exceptional. Both properties were impeccably maintained and offered top-notch service. As a Titanium member, I was thoroughly pampered, experiencing one of the best hotel stays among the over 1,000 nights I've spent at Marriott properties globally. We were fortunate to meet the General Manager, Mr. Dinish, who shared fascinating anecdotes about Tanzania and provided invaluable guidance on local food and activities for our daughters. The hospitality, service, and dining at their excellent restaurants were outstanding. We will definitely be returning to enjoy this remarkable experience again.

Well maintained hotel with excellent service Staff are friendly an conveniently located The food is delicious with a variety of stuff for global appetites The breakfast area is well served with happy staff an chef The staff keeps on cleaning the area to ensure proper hygiene
